I made a batch of whipped coconut oil this weekend. You can use just coconut oil and essential oils and whip it up in a mixer. The one I made this weekend, I used Shea Moisture Bath, Body, and Massage Oil with my unrefined, cold-pressed, virgin coco oil. I used 6 tablespoons of the Shea Moisture oil with 1 1/2 cups of the coco oil (in it's solid state), and I added a few drops of tea tree oil (for a little more sanitizing).
I heated the coco oil so it was easy to get out of the jar, but still solid. I then put it in the mixer together and whipped it up. I didn't use the whipping attachment on the mixer, just the blending attachment. It made two small jars of fluffy coconut oil. I really wanted this for my desk at work, where the paper and boxes I come in contact with dries my hands out like crazy. I also added the tea tree oil to add more germ killing to the coco oils natural anti-bacterial properties. A small amount of this whipped coconut oil goes a long way. If you put too much on at first, your hands will be greasy. Just a little and let it sit for a bit. Silky hands goodness with a quick and easy project.
ps: These cute jars were in the dollar bin at Target!
